El Apagon

The Blackout

El Apagon

I was walking alone on the streetIba sola por la calle
When suddenlyCuando vino de pronto
A blackoutUn apagón
It's better if I keep quietVale mas que yo me calle
About the adventure that happened to meLa aventura que a mi me sucedió
They took me by the waistMe tomaron por el talle
They took me to the corner of a hallwayMe llevaron al cubo de un Zaguán
And on that dark streetY en aquella oscura calle
Oh, what happened to me.Ay, que me sucedió.

With the blackout.... things happenCon el apagón....que cosas suceden
Things happen..... with the blackoutQue cosas suceden..... con el apagón
With the blackout.... things happenCon el apagón....que cosas suceden
Things happen..... with the blackoutQue cosas suceden..... con el apagón

I stayed very still in thatMe quede muy quietecita en aquella
Terrible darknessTerrible oscuridad
And a hand oh! LightlyY una mano ay! Ligerita
Touched me with confidence and freedomMe palpo con confianza y libertad
If the danger was aboveSi el peligro estaba arriba
Down here things were worseAcá abajo la cosa andaba peor
The offensive was so strongFue tan fuerte la ofensiva
Oh!...... What happened to me¡Ay!...... Que me sucedió

And without seeing the enemy in that terrible darknessY sin ver al enemigo en aquella terrible oscuridad
They took off my coatMe quitaron el abrigo
My hat and ....... what a shame!El sombrero y ....... ¡que barbaridad!
I thought about the punishmentYo pensaba en el castigo
That to that cool oneQue a aquel fresco
I was going to give right awayEnseguida le iba a dar
When they turned on the lightsCuando encendieron las luces
Oh!...... it was my dad.¡Ay!...... era mi papa.

With the blackout.... things happenCon el apagón....que cosas suceden
Things happen..... with the blackoutQue cosas suceden..... con el apagón
With the blackout.... things happenCon el apagón....que cosas suceden
Things happen..... with the blackoutQue cosas suceden..... con el apagón
